The objective of the Expropriation Law Centre (a.k.a. ExLaw) website is to provide a
comprehensive and readily accessible
source of information about Canadian expropriation law and practice and the
professionals who work in this field. The content is intended to inform and
to stimulate discussion about the expropriation process and determination of
compensation. Some of the content is quite technical and will be of interest
mainly to expropriation professionals. Other content is aimed at a broader
audience. So far as we have been able to determine there are no other
websites providing the level of coverage of Canadian expropriation law that
you will find on this website.

Another objective is to provide a forum to introduce Canadian
expropriation professionals to each other and to introduce them to people who
require their services. Expropriation is a narrow area of expertise. Before
this website was established there was very little information available to
the public to identify the people who work in this field.
The Expropriation Law Centre takes advantage of the Internet to make
this possible.
